tumblr is great bc its like a diary where I can take other peoples diary entries and glue them into my own diary

[creativepromptsforwriting]

I do not write to be the greatest writer out there. I write because...

I LIKE it

someone else might LIKE it

it is FUN to do

I get those THOUGHTS out of my head

it's fun to look BACK on

have I mentioned it's FUN?

it's CATHARTIC

it's nice to see what I CAN DO

And also because I just like it.

If you read interviews with homicide cops, two things quickly become clear

It is really not all that hard to get away with murder. A basic amount of foresight and prep will get rid of enough evidence that the police either won't find the killer or will be unable to make the charge stick.

Despite this, most murders do get solved, because someone who decides that murder is the solution to their problems is probably not the kind of person to be levelheaded and careful enough to avoid getting caught.

I think something very similar is true of sockpuppet accounts. It's not that hard to make a convincing sockpuppet. However, people almost always make sockpuppets as a way of defending their egos, of making it look like they have more support than they actually do. And this passionate defense of someone the sockpuppet ostensibly doesn't know and has no reason to care about is a dead giveaway. So if you want to validate a sockpuppet you have to lose an argument to it. You have to get owned. Once it makes you look like an idiot, basically no one will ever suspect it again.

Unfortunately, by posting this, I've burned my only chance to actually do it. From now on, whenever you see me getting dunked on, you'll assume it's staged sockpuppet validation. and you'd be right. i have never lost an argument on this website. every single one was staged. i did not get owned. i did not get owned.

"all you ever do is complain" that's not true. I also resent.

Dear God, was Ernest Hemingway quite depressing.

“If people bring so much courage to this world, the world has to kill them all to break them, so of course it kills them. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too. But there will be no special hurry to do so.”

This seems too bleak a quote to put on a tombstone.

All journalists in Gaza, basically.

[mysharona1987]

Of course we care about Gaza. Some of us insist on a soul.

Columbo be like: Can I ask a question?

Everyone: No, fuck off Colombo. I request a lawyer

[mysharona1987]

Colombo :

This is how you outsmart the greatest detective on television.

[mysharona1987]

Alas, we will never see Saul Goodman vs Lieutenant Columbo on television.

Would have been like Godzilla vs King Kong.

But with Emmys.

And if you truly cannot imagine this, if you're convinced that it will never happen to you, consider this one thing.

Would you want scammers to know the state of your loved one's dementia?

Oh. Shit.

not my tweet or my fic (and there’s a good chance of this comment being a bot) but yeah, don’t do this. sure, some writers wouldn’t mind having fanfics (or direct continuation) of their fanfics written by someone else. some may even be thrilled and happy. but the fandom etiquette is that if you want to write a fanfic or a continuation of someone’s fanfic, YOU POLITELY ASK THE WRITER FOR THEIR PERMISSION. not their readers.

also 5 months isn’t long at all. 5 months is 5 minutes when it comes to fanfics. I’ve waited years for my favorite fics to get updated (one of my favorite fanfics was updated by the author after 13 years) and I’ve never said anything to them about “it’s been ___ years, I don’t think it will get updated anymore”. because another fandom / fanfic etiquette is that fanfic writers write for free in their free time, they don’t owe you anything. maybe they will update one day. maybe they won’t. if you want your favorite fic to get updated, you comment something like “this is good!! I’m excited for what happens next” and maybe your positive comment will motivate the author to update. but you don’t say “it’s been ___ months or years”. fanfics writers write for themselves and their own enjoyment. they’re just kind enough to let you read their works for free. stop being rude and entitled to fanfic writers.

I'm a little scared, in a way, haha. What when Dir stops and what do I listen to then? I have nothing else I actively listen to, do you?

It's inevitable, and if I were to guess, I think it will happen because one of them won't be able to carry on any longer, so they would probably feel a lot of shame as well. There's nothing we can do about it or to prepare for that eventuality... As you asked, there isn't any band out there like Dir en grey's sound and stage presence. I listen to some other stuff but not close to Dir en grey's genre, and it's not lovable enough for me to travel halfway around the world to see those other artists. I'd say I recently renewed my interest in Lady Gaga, went to see her and am actively listening to some of her songs, but not to the same level as Dir en grey or sukekiyo at all.

So yeah... The only thing we can do is to cherish the moments we have with them, appreciate what they're still releasing. Support them however we can.

It will be a sad, sad day. I hope there will be as many tributes as some of the other bands have gotten.
